'Game of Thrones' star Kit Harington returned to the New York City bar he was drunkenly kicked out of and left a 100% tip

Footage published by TMZ showed Kit Harington getting kicked out of the New York City bar Barfly during a drunken night out.

The bar owners told "Entertainment Tonight" that the actor actually returned to the bar to pay his tab and left a great tip.

They said he would be welcome back at any time.

The "Game of Thrones" actor Kit Harington sent the internet into a tizzy after TMZ published video showing him getting kicked out of a New York City bar. But the King in the North on HBO's hit show made sure to make amends for his behavior.

In a statement to "Entertainment Tonight," Barfly's owners, Aldo Parisi and Krystyn Shari, said Harington returned to the bar later that evening to pay his bill and leave an exceptional tip.

"He came back later that night to pay his check and left a 100% tip — $70 on a $70 check," they said.

Photographs and footage showed the actor playing pool at the New York City dive bar. According to the report from TMZ, Harington was being "drunk and disorderly" before eventually being dragged from the establishment. The footage was perfect meme inspiration, and internet users made quick use of it.

The Barfly owners said the footage didn't capture the moment correctly. They said Harington walked into the bar Friday night already drunk and was there for about 30 minutes.

"Harington bought one Jameson for himself, a drink for his friend, and a round of drinks for all of the other customers at the bar," they said.

They clarified that the apparent "disagreement" between Harington and another pool player was that Harington didn't understand the rules of the game being played.

"A customer was letting him take his shot for him but he didn't understand the rules of the game," they said. "The game being played is called 'Killer,' where each person takes one shot, but Harington tried to continue shooting."

After realizing that Harington was drunk, staff members asked him to leave. Parisi and Shari added that they were disappointed someone filmed the incident.

"Our customers deserve their privacy no matter who they are," they said. "We've had plenty of famous people in here in the past and nothing like that has happened to them ... Barfly wants Harington to know he is welcome back anytime."

"Game of Thrones" won't return until 2019, but it's good to know that the King in the North is still an honorable man.
